Fresh Ingredients: The Foundation of Every Dish
At Alwalyma, we believe that exceptional dishes start with exceptional ingredients. That’s why we carefully select the finest local and imported produce, ensuring every element contributes to the vibrant flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine.
Staple vegetables like eggplants, tomatoes, and cucumbers play key roles in iconic dishes such as baba ghanoush and tabbouleh. Grains like rice and couscous, alongside legumes like lentils and chickpeas, form the hearty base of many traditional recipes. The result? A diverse menu filled with fresh, colorful, and nutritious dishes that highlight the bounty of the Middle East.
Honoring Tradition: Cooking with Care
Middle Eastern cooking is an art that values patience and respect for time-honored methods. At Alwalyma, our chefs dedicate themselves to mastering these techniques, ensuring every dish reflects the authenticity of its origins.
From slow-cooking tender lamb in aromatic rice for dishes like lamb ouzi to marinating and grilling shawarma to perfection, each step is meticulously executed. This slow and steady approach allows flavors to meld beautifully, delivering dishes that are as rich in taste as they are in tradition.
The Secret is in the Spices
The heart of Middle Eastern cuisine lies in its bold, aromatic spices. At Alwalyma, our spice blends are crafted to perfection, enhancing every dish with depth and character. Here’s a glimpse into some of the key spices that make our food extraordinary:
Cumin: Adds earthy warmth to dishes like hummus and falafel.
Sumac: A tangy spice used to brighten salads like fattoush.
Za’atar: A fragrant blend of thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac, perfect for meats and fresh pita.
Cardamom: Delivers sweet and spicy notes to both savory dishes and desserts.
Turmeric: Known for its vibrant color and earthy flavor, ideal for rice and stews.
These spices not only add flavor but elevate every ingredient they touch, creating meals that linger in your memory long after your last bite.
Flavor and Texture: A Perfect Balance
Middle Eastern cuisine is a celebration of contrasts—savory meets sweet, soft meets crunchy, and bold meets delicate. At Alwalyma, we embrace this harmony in every dish.
Our shawarma blends spiced, juicy meats with crisp vegetables and tangy yogurt sauce. Our hummus achieves the perfect creaminess with a hint of lemon and garlic, while our falafel offers a satisfying crunch on the outside and a tender center.
